There's nothing wrong with this cartridge, compatible with the HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 printers. Except that it's rated for only 900-1000 pages. For only a little more you can get the larger 940XL set. Why did buy this set then? Because I didn't pay attention.
The 900-1000 pages rating is based on HP's testing methodology meaning that it's highly unlikely that you will get 1000 pages out of your cartridge unless all you do is print plain text. If you make copies, if you print photos, if you use the high quality settings you are going to run out of ink much sooner.
HP claims (couldn't verify) that using Officejet inks on papers with the ColorLok logo the output will retain color quality 'for decades'. Such an ink/paper combination, according to HP, will produce documents that resist water and fading.
Which one to order? At the time I wrote this review I got more value by far with the larger cartridge but this set should be okay if you are not a heavy user.

Do not buy cartridges from DVD Ink Refills. They are genuine but they are probably expired. In order to hide the expiration date, they mailed to me only the cartridges with their HP wrapping but without the original HP box. Unfortunately, the wrapping does not have any expiration date written on it. (There is something that looks like a date and, if it is really a date, then one of the cartridges expired five years ago.) In any case, there is no reason to take the risk: avoid DVD Ink Refills.
